Located at No. 15A, Tai Hang Road on Hong Kong Island, Haw Par Mansion was built in 1935 as the residence of Aw Boon Haw, an overseas Chinese merchant who was known locally as “The King of Tiger Balm.”
The mansion was used solely as the Aw family’s residence, but its sprawling garden known as the Tiger Balm Garden was opened to the public until it was demolished for redevelopment in 2004.
